BioTech Company Engages Kaliotek For Information Technology Solutions

The best computer systems management partner for biotech companies is a managed IT services provider that has deep roots in the biotech industry. It’s just that simple. That’s why the KalioTek™ team was thrilled when we were recently approached by a leading biotech firm in the area to talk with them about their IT support requirements.

What we found was that the internal IT technician had done an excellent job. He just couldn’t keep up with the evolving workload and the expansion plans of the organization. In conversations with the business leadership, the decision was made to move the internal technician into a different support role and move all the management, maintenance, and monitoring of the company’s technology over to KalioTek™. While we are happy to work with internal IT departments, in this case, the client felt this course of action was most appropriate.

The next steps were the most challenging

Our fully staffed IT+Security department took over the day-to-day IT support operations for the new biotech client.

Even though legislative compliance wasn’t applicable to their situation, we still wanted to ensure that they were set up with industry-standard data storage and security protocols. This included off-site, geo-redundant backup and data encryption. To prevent cyber attacks and data breaches, we implemented industry-leading CIS and NIST security standards.

One of the concerns of the new client was the need for 24/7 Service Desk support. In the past, if their IT employee was off shift, sick, or on vacation, IT problems just festered until he came into work and dealt with the issue at hand. We solved this by providing them with continuous Service Desk support to answer their questions and to respond to any emerging or emergent IT issues faced by their employees.

As a central component of our service to their organization, we provided proactive planning. One of our IT Directors and an outsourced team of security consultants was part of the monthly subscription contract that we agreed upon.

Why KalioTek™ Works With BioTech Firms

Part of what attracted the KalioTek™ team to biotech companies in the first place was the complexity of the IT systems upon which the organizations in the industry depend. Biotech IT environments present a challenging interweave of computers, servers, cloud assets, security requirements, and instrumentation. They are a fascinating challenge and allow us to be at our best in serving these organizations.

Managing Big Data Sets

Part of what drives the complexity of serving biotech firms is the large datasets that they depend upon to do their research. The management, utilization, storage, and security of big data is something that not every IT support company has the organizational maturity to handle. Fortunately, we had walked this road with previous clients. We helped the new biotech client to move away from out-of-control data spread around on laptops, workstations, and servers and enabled them to have secure, verifiable data protocols.

It wasn’t that the new client had nuclear secrets. If their data was suddenly released on the internet, it wouldn’t be the end of their company, but it wouldn’t be good for them either. In the end, it was determined that caution was the best course of action when it comes to cybersecurity.

Leveraging the Cloud

The final piece of the puzzle for our new client was leveraging the cloud for collaboration and mobility. Until this point, they had been using file-share systems that really weren’t intended – and didn’t have the appropriate security – for business. We fixed this with a business-class file sync and share system that allowed them to use their files securely on any device anywhere in the world while collaborating in real time.

Now, our newest biotech client has a secure IT environment that works in sync with their processes.
